Athlete Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Just now, JHRover said: Me too. I'd be content with someone like Adkins or Jackett, who surely wouldn't cost much to recruit and want a job. I just worry that there's something else going on here. Waking up to see the Telegraph plastered with Cheston's comments about cost cutting has got me worried. I don't think the timing is coincidental and I think its been deliberately planted ahead of a low cost managerial appointment who will almost certainly finish us off. Hope im wrong. You've probably hit the nail on the head something else definitely must be afoot no coincidence

JHRover Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Myers reporting he's heard Tony Mowbray. Yuk.

punerover Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I would be very disappointed if we appoint another "internal promotion" or "another has-been" as a manager. What we need is a fresh perspective.

Bigdoggsteel Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I would be devastated with Mowbray. This appointment needs to get the fans behind it.
Mercer Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Do we know who is taking training today or are the lads merely having another rest day?

Bigdoggsteel Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 So we get managers who work with Coventry. Crazy. We are heading in the same direction.
Gav Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Tim Sherwood took Villa backwards from where it sat under Lambert, which if you think about it is some achievement, anyone wanting him is bonkers. As for Mowbray, he resigned from Coventry due to it being a basket case of a club, they never bought targets he identified, and he admitted you can't build a side from loan players. Lets get Mike Bassett in, then at least we all know the last 7yrs have been a complete p1ss take. #venkysout
JHRover Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Mowbray confirmed with David Lowe as assistant and Dunn as First team coach. Cheap option. Presumably one requirement for Mowbray to get the job was a willingness to appoint existing club staff to his coaching staff. Only positive is that Mowbray has some integrity and has form for walking out if things get ugly as he did at Coventry.

Gav Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 When leaving Coventry Tony said, and it could have been written by Coyle: We knew what the budget was but we didn't get our targets. You can't build a club off loans. They have to invest in footballers they can keep and build on. Shambles of a club

Unless he was up here for the scenery, it might help your cause if you put an addendum to these rumours by advising where you get this stuff (ultimately rubbish) from!

Mate also told me he heard Curbishley has been at Ewood during the past week but may have been just because he's friends with Senior. Well... at least Dad was wrong!
yoda Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Get the coffin dusted off again we are going to need it, Lostock Hall here we come
m1st Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 5 minutes ago, Bigdoggsteel said: So that we would know who the majority of fans on here would like? Sorry, Bigdoggsteel; I think the owners and their lackeys have just made my point for me - who we want/might have wanted as manager count for nothing. We're only the fans, after all.
